Fmoc-NH-PEG3-CH2COOH
This product is a heterobifunctional PEG linker with an Fmoc-protected amine on one end and a terminal carboxylic acid on the other, separated by a PEG3 spacer. It specifically enables stepwise peptide synthesis, amide coupling, and bioconjugation with enhanced solubility.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Dual Functional Groups: Fmoc-protected amine allows controlled deprotection; terminal carboxyl enables amide bond formation.
-
PEG3 Spacer: Improves aqueous solubility and provides moderate flexibility.
-
Orthogonal Reactivity: Supports sequential conjugation strategies in synthesis.
-
High Versatility: Useful in peptide modification, linker design, and biomolecule conjugation.
-
High Purity: Ensures reproducibility in demanding bioconjugation workflows.
Applications
-
Peptide Synthesis: Fmoc group supports controlled, stepwise solid-phase synthesis.
-
Bioconjugation: Couples proteins, peptides, or polymers through amide linkage.
-
Drug Delivery: Provides a PEG scaffold with orthogonal functional handles.
-
Diagnostics: Functionalizes biomolecules for probe development and assays.
-
Organic Synthesis: Serves as a modular intermediate in advanced linker design.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, moisture- and light-protected container.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents such as DMF or DMSO; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
This product integrates an Fmoc-protected amine and a carboxyl group through a PEG3 spacer, specifically providing orthogonal reactivity, solubility, and flexibility for peptide synthesis and bioconjugation.
